I couldn't resist sneaking in a family session while we were on vacation! The hazy skies from the Canadian wildfire smoke created the most incredible natural filter, turning golden hour into a soft, amber glow.

It's not always easy stepping out from behind the camera to actually get in front of it, but moments like these are worth every second of chaos and memories. 🌻

Thank you to VonThun Farms for offering photography reservations! We had a great time 💕

The rumors are true. Studio Shay is coming to Spooky Empire this October, and it's going to be our biggest undertaking yet. Just in case you missed the Holiday Matsuri post, this year Studio Shay is entering the convention vending scene. Don't expect your average photo booth though; we're going to be offering so much more. We'll be in a 1,000sqft space with two fully immersive sets and photo prints available onsite. Plus, ever single session gives back, with a dollar from your session fee going directly to support LGBTQ+ youth through The Trevor Project. More details to come! 👻

Studio Shay's application for Holiday Matsuri 2026 is in the works! This is the second major project I am building for the upcoming season, with even more on the way.

I am excited for the possibility of bringing a brand new holiday portrait experience to HolMat this year! The Naughty and Nice Edition is something I have been dreaming up for months, and I cannot wait to share more as we get closer to the season. Let's hope this application gets approved! 😈😇🎄

I shifted to IPS because families deserve support and artwork that actually gets printed. A calmer, more guided experience starts here.

The Dog Days of Summer Special begins today, and I'm starting with the sweetest boy.

Peppi is a senior pup who prefers the comfort of home, so we created his session right where he feels safest. We photographed him indoors with my studio set up, then stepped outside to his favorite patch of grass for a little sunshine and head scratches.

All season long, pet sessions are 10 percent off, and 10 percent of artwork sales will be donated to Osceola Animal Services to support animals in our community.

If you've been thinking about celebrating your own pup, this is a beautiful time to do it.

Despite Father's Day being right around the corner, I finally had a chance to sit down and write about the Hali family's Mother's Day session. Their session had everything I love: A toddler with their own agenda, a family full of warmth, and the kind of moments you can't script. Personality always wins over perfection.

I never want this work to be transactional. I want families to be comfortable, be heard, and to capture images they will cherish for a lifetime. The Halis made that easy.

And as a bonus, I stumbled into prime night at the park and photographed a sweet teen couple after bumping into her mom! She was an old coworker of my husband. Orlando is huge, so running into a familiar face is so unexpected! I'm so happy to have been at the right place at the right time.

Today is announcement day!

The Dog Days of Summer Special is here, created for the pups who fill our homes with joy and our days with cuddles.

From June 1 to August 31, I am opening a limited number of pet focused portrait sessions. Enjoy a ten percent discount off the booking fee during this special! And as a way to give back, a portion of every artwork order will be donated to Osceola Animal Services to support animals in our community.

I'm partnering with Lauren’s Paw Sitting Service for this event, Lauren also has something special for her clients who book with me during this promo. If your dog is a part of your family's story, this is the perfect time to celebrate them.
